Several WordPress versions ago, putting together an image gallery wasn’t the easiest thing to do, let alone a gallery of videos or products for sale.

Today, however, there are many WordPress gallery plugins that are creative, powerful, and highly configurable. Sure, the Jetpack gallery is great in comparison to the early days of WordPress, but it pales in comparison to what’s available to designers and developers today.

You’ll see what I mean with these 20 useful WordPress gallery plugins on Envato Market.

So you’re looking for a WordPress gallery plugin that will do just about anything for you?

Well then you might want to start by taking a look at the Justified Image Grid – Premium WordPress Gallery.

Like any good WordPress gallery plugin, this one lets you set up your gallery configuration and drop in your shortcode.

The Go Portfolio – WordPress Responsive Portfolio will have your beautifully designed gallery up and running in no time.

While this plugin is really easy to use, it does so without being limited—it is very flexible.

This WordPress gallery plugin takes a slightly different approach than some others do. As with other solutions, you can create galleries and drop them in your posts and pages. The nice thing about this plugin, however, is that you can choose to create new custom post types.

PhotoMosaic for WordPress is a great option for photographers and designers looking to showcase their work.

You can make several different adjustments to your mosaics, displaying your images beautifully within WordPress.

Some of the features are:

lazy loading

CSS3 loading animations

image link behavior options

shortcode and Template Tag support

and more

Quickly and easily build your mosaic gallery. PhotoMosaic for WordPress galleries can be made from a list of images, images attached to your post or page, and from categories and tags from any taxonomy.

WordPress gallery plugins are pretty straightforward.

You add the images or embed the video and you have your gallery. Simple stuff.

This plugin has a lot of features seen in other WordPress gallery plugins, but blends them together in a unique way.

Grid FX – Responsive Grid Plugin for WordPress has a really nice feature set, making it feel a little more powerful than your typical gallery plugin.

Display blog posts, custom post types, and so much more.

This has an impressive feature set:

pagination and more than 80 options

custom effects and built-in views and Like system

supports YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and more

mix WooCommerce, images, posts, videos and more in the same gallery

and more

The built-in support for dropdown filtering and sorting is the most impressive feature aside from the built-in views and Like system. This gives users the ability to quickly and easily build a robust online store and more.

Conclusion

There are some WordPress gallery plugins in this roundup that have certainly caught my eye. While some of them excel with CSS3 effects, there were plenty that flexed their power on the back-end as well.
